how to write url address with parameter like this
www.example.com/param1/var1/param2/var2
and next get it with :
$param1 = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('param1');
$param2 = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('param2');
The default router expects that the first 3 parts in the url to be module, controller, action and then the rest of the parameters are treated as GET parameters.
You can generates such an url like this:
Mage::getUrl('module/controller/action', array('param1'=>'var1', 'param2'=>'var2'))
check here for full deails on this :
you need to do something like this.
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/5_-_modules_and_development/reference/geturl_function_parameters
Mage::getUrl('cms/page/view', array('id' => 1));
// http://www.example.com/cms/page/view/id/1
Also your code to get these values from url is correct.

I have a url "http://localhost/codeigniter/index.php/manual_export/". I need to get last segment from the url which is suppose to be a id. So for example "http://localhost/codeigniter/index.php/manual_export/2". I need to get the last segment which is "2".
I tired to use following code:
$id = end($this->uri->segment_array());
This works when I don't add "2" to the url and gives me "manual_export". However when I pass the id to the url I get an error "The page you requested was not found.". I think this is to do with routing. How can I fix this error.
the other way to do it is by defining a route, it will then be converted to a param
so for example if your controller is called manual_export and the method is getrecord
in the file application/routes.php
$route['manual_export/(:any)'] = "manual_export/getrecord/$1";
in your controller manual_export
function getrecord($id){ // etc etc }
You should use:
$this->uri->segment(n);//in your case n == 2 count starts just after index.php

If I want to construct this url: /categories/5/update/?hidden=1 how could I pass both {id} param and hidden param (as GET) ?
My route is:
Route::get('categories/{id}/update', 'CategoryController#update');
I don't want to make a form and put it as POST because I have a number of buttons which simply hides/shows/removes a category and dont want to make a lot of forms for simple actions, although it has nothing to do with the question
I'm just a little bit confused, because it seems like action('CategoryController#update', [$id, 'hidden' => 1]) constructs the right URL but I got no idea how it's distinguished that the first one ($id) must be in URL and the second is a GET param
You may also try this to generate the URL:
$action = action('CategoryController#update', [id => $id]) . '?hidden=1';
Also, query string could be passed with any route even without mentioning about that in Route declaration.
Is there a Magento function to get the value of "id" from this url:
http://example.com/path/action/id/123
I know I can split the url on "/" to get the value, but I'd prefer a single function.
This doesn't work:
$id = $this->getRequest()->getParam('id');
It only works if I use http://example.com/path/action?id=123
Magento's default routing algorithm uses three part URLs.
http://example.com/front-name/controller-name/action-method
So when you call
http://example.com/path/action/id/123
The word path is your front name, action is your controller name, and id is your action method. After these three methods, you can use getParam to grab a key/value pair
http://example.com/path/action/id/foo/123
//in a controller
var_dump($this->getRequest()->getParam('foo'));
You may also use the getParams method to grab an array of parameters
$this->getRequest()->getParams()
If your url is the following structure: http://yoursiteurl.com/index.php/admin/sales_order_invoice/save/order_id/1795/key/b62f67bcaa908cdf54f0d4260d4fa847/
then use:
echo $this->getRequest()->getParam('order_id'); // output is 1795
If you want to get All Url Value or Parameter value than use below code.
var_dump($this->getRequest()->getParams());
If your url is like this: http://magentoo.blogspot.com/magentooo/userId=21
then use this to get the value of url
echo $_GET['userId'];

If it's a Magento module, you can use the Varien Object getter. If it's for your own module controller, you may want to use the register method.

Let's say my controller function is expecting 2 parameters: page_name, and user_name
The URL would be in the format http://mysite.com/controller_name/function_name/page_name/user_name
Assuming that sometimes I can have a blank user_name, and other times I can have blank page_name, can I pass a blank page_name by loading this URL?
http://mysite.com/controller_name/function_name//user_name
If the controller function is:
function function_name($page_name="default", $user_name=null)
...
Would the $page_name value be "default" for the 2nd URL stated above?
You can't. Server will simply ignore the extra slash.
Since both parameters are optional, you should use request parameters.
http://mysite.com/controller_name/function_name?page_name=p1&user_name=u1
And in your controller, use $this->input->get('page_name') and $this->input->get('user_name') to get the value and check if the values are empty.
I know this is an old question but the solution I came up with is simple. It goes something like this:
$this->input->get('limit') ? $this->input->get('limit') : 20;
I am trying to create a router which will take a dynamic value and forward it to the actual route. In normal case it would be like
$route['login'] = 'auth/login';
It is possible to catch a parameter before the login in the above parameter and pass it to as the first parameter to the actual route ? like
$route['^(.+)/login$'] = "$1/user/login";
Check out the documentation[docs]. There is a very easy way to do this.
$route['(:any)/login'] = '$1/auth/login';
Starx answer is correct but I wouldn't do that, as your first param will be your controller, and if you don't know what's in the dynamic value that's impossible to manage.
I would do :
$route['(:any)/login'] = 'user/login/$1';
This way, 'anything/login' would be redirected to your User controller, to the Login function with the parameter 'anything'.
